Cheapest route
Route planner for the cheapest truck route
A route planner for cars sometimes sends a truck under a bridge that is too low or over a road with a weight restriction. Tolmijden plans with a truck profile, drives around restrictions and closures and immediately calculates the Dutch truck charge (vrachtwagenheffing) and the costs.
What the route planner does
- Truck profile: height, length, width, weight, axle load and dangerous goods, from the number plate or entered yourself.
- Restrictions: road sections from Rijkswaterstaat and road signs from the national road sign database that are prohibited for your truck are avoided.
- Closures: road closures in the chosen period, with an explanation if the route makes a detour because of them.
- Dutch truck charge per road section and tunnel toll.
- Avoid road charges smartly: the trade-off between charge, driving time and fuel.
- Driving time at no more than 80 km/h.
- Up to 23 stops, a return trip and a PDF for the driver.
- Road numbers along the route and the steps per leg.
- My location as the starting point.
Zones, LHVs or abroad?
Tolmijden plans the cheapest route within the Netherlands. If you also want low emission zones and zero-emission zones, LHVs (LZV), exceptional transport, ADR tunnels or a route through Europe, use the Truckroute truck route planner, with the same email address.
Who is it for?
- Planners see in advance what a trip costs and whether it is possible.
- Drivers see why the route makes a detour.
- Quotes and post-calculation get the charge per trip.
- Owner-drivers weigh up whether avoiding the charge pays off.
